a marriage of emergence

a marriage of emergence

 

 

 

their Broadway was Camelot

with window dressing,

and sparse embodiment,

 

sharp accents, and an actor's charm

a limo driver slowing down

the line,

 

of fire,

reels burning and bursting

 

Edith Head's costumes exploding

Oscars in hospital hallways

leaning on a gurney

 

tie loosened

the gloves are off

ending, a disturbed dissident 

 

a tarnished crown,

a blond mourner in the corner

shielding her face from scrutiny

 

and little prince

saluting a king

 

confused by parades

with no floats,

just long black cars.

Camelot was as much a shining light for the world as for the US.
Its memory is being eroded like a sandbar.
Perhaps we all tied him to the post for that despicable firing squad.
